GETTING STARTED

Output Connectors

Balanced output connectors: these XLR 3-pin connectors 
provide a line-level left-channel and right-channel signal that 
can be used to send the selected input to preamplifier inputs, 
power amplifier inputs, a powered subwoofer, or to recording 
components. Mark Levinson recommends using the Balanced 
outputs as the primary output if your preamplifier or amplifiers 
offer balanced inputs.

Single-ended output connectors: these RCA connectors provide 
a line-level left-channel and right-channel signal that can be 
used to send the selected input to preamplifier or amplifier 
inputs, a powered subwoofer, to a second listening zone, or to 
recording components.

The Balanced and Single-ended outputs can be configured in the 
menu as Fixed (for use with a separate preamplifier, recording 
components or a second audio zone). When configured as Fixed, 
these outputs are not affected by the Volume knob or Mute button.

Digital output connectors:  the № 519 has three digital output 
connectors: AES/EBU Balanced XLR, Coaxial S/PDIF RCA, 
and Optical S/PDIF TOSLINK. Each digital output provides a 
two-channel digital connection to your DAC or preamplifier 
with built-in DAC. Mark Levinson recommends using the 
Balanced digital output for the best possible sound quality if the 
connection is available on the DAC or preamplifier to which the 
player is connected.

Input Connectors

Digital audio input connectors: the № 519 has six digital input 
connectors: 

•  One AES/EBU Balanced XLR, numbered 1
•  Two Coaxial S/PDIF RCA, numbered 2 and 3
•  Two Optical S/PDIF TOSLINK, numbered 4 and 5 
•  One Asynchronous USB Type B, numbered 6
Mass storage connectors: Two Mass Storage USB Type A

•  These connectors can be used for attaching USB drives 

containing music, unit software updates, or setup 
configuration importing and exporting. 

Please note that the 

USB Type A connections are not for direct connection to an 
audio source device.

Note: when importing settings or software updates from 
a USB flash drive, please remove any other USB drives 
attached to the unit first, then insert the one with the new 
settings or software.

Note: Mark Levinson recommends using high-quality, name 
brand USB drives for the best reliability and performance. 
Use of low-quality drives may degrade performance or not 
be reliable.

Control Connectors 
Ethernet connector: This connector accepts a Cat5 or higher 
cable for connection to an Ethernet network. For information on 
how to configure and use the Ethernet port, see the online user 
guide.

IR input connector: this 1/8-inch (3.5mm) connector accepts IR 
(infrared) control signals from other equipment. Note that this 
connector does not provide power for IR extender modules.

RS-232 connector: this RJ-11 connector provides serial control 
through a standard RS-232 connection.  

Trigger output connectors: these 1/8-inch (3.5mm) TS phone 
plug connectors can be used to activate other components in 
the audio system and listening room, such as amplifiers, lights, 
and window shades. A 12V 100mA DC signal is output whenever 
the unit is on. (See illustration)

Trigger phone plug connector pin assignments: 

•  Tip: + 
•  Sleeve: – 

Trigger input connector: this 1/8-inch (3.5mm) TS phone plug 
connector can be connected to the trigger output of another 
system component or control system that supplies a trigger 
voltage. Whenever the unit detects a voltage between 5V and 
12V DC at this connection, it will turn On from Standby. When 
the trigger signal at this connection ceases, the unit will enter 
the selected Standby mode. (See illustration)
